land, in the county ofJefierson, and State of New York, have invented a new Y'and useful Improvement in Washing-Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the'acco'mpanying drawings, in which Figure l is a plain view.

Figure 2 is a central vertical section.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I'will proceed 4to describe its construction and operation.

. On top of the tub or box A ishinged a frame, B, Inside of this frame is placed a corrugated roller, O. the shaft of which passes. through. eachside of the frame. O n one end of this shaft is a cog-wheel, which meshes into another one, which is attached to one side ofthe ame B, and on this cog-wheel is a crank'by which the machine is operated.

On theinside of; each side of the tubA are two I pieces, D, one end of each being pivoted to the side of the tub, and under each piece isa spring, E, which is secured Ato the bottom of the tub, and the pieces D D are held up from the bottom of the tub by the said springs.

In and between.,th'e pieces D Dare rollers, F F, and between the rollers are pieces, G G, which are secured to the pieces D.
